After its presentation last month at Gamescom, Vaewolf returned with a new trailer during the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct, this time focused on the story and the thirst for revenge that will guide the entire adventure. Developed by Milky Tea and published by Megabit, the title is a frenetic hack and slash set in a fantastical reinterpretation of ancient northern England.

The protagonist is the Vaewolf, a legendary creature hybrid of werewolf and vampire, engaged in an unrelenting hunt against the Viking clan responsible for the massacre of her family. Revenge will thus serve as the narrative engine of the experience, guiding the player through a journey during which new abilities can be awakened and power gradually increased.
The combat system will revolve primarily around the ability to freely change form during fights, exploiting three distinct incarnations. The Elf will enable precise strikes from a distance against opponents, the Werewolf will rely on brute force to shatter enemy defenses, while the Vampire will allow the use of powerful abilities tied to dark magic. The abilities of each form can be combined to execute attacks and brutal finishers, giving the player the option to quickly adapt their approach to various situations.
Particular attention was also given to the artistic direction. Vaewolf will indeed take players to explore hand-drawn environments inspired by real locations in the Lake District, moving from the mountains and lakes of Cumbria to the caves and ruins of the Underworld. The developers cite among their main visual influences the style of Hergé, creator of Tintin, combined with the dark atmospheres and mythologies associated with the works of Mike Mignola.
Vaewolf will arrive in 2027 on PC, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The title will also support Xbox Play Anywhere, allowing players to enjoy the game within the Xbox ecosystem on both consoles and PC without additional costs.
